Reality is so much more complicated than my American perspective allowed. I cannot express how valuable this experience feels..."

A student Ithaca College
"I feel like I truly grew up during my experience abroad. You learn who you are as a person, apart from the influence of close friends and family, and what you're capable of achieving completely on your own. Studying abroad is the most important thing I've done so far in my life. I would do it again in a heartbeat."
